tom, executive director of livable city. i was one of the two cochairs of the transportation task force. we have actually finished our work, but i wanted to present it to you today. it is agreed that i am falling after toby, because the thing that we were able to do, which did not happen in eastern neighborhoods is really look at transportation and land uses as two sides of the same coin and integrate them as best we can. i will show you policies, not actual projects. they are policies and are in the plan. they will be in the area planning. some of them are happening. i will speak in a little bit to the ways that some of these are actually happening. if i can direct your attention to the map on on the mat -- first of all, let me back up. the existing transportation situation in western soma is dominated by one mode of transportation, the automobile. the city has really put the needs of the region and the city-wide needs ahead of neighborhood needs. so what you have is a physical environment that is totally dominated by autom

when we look at livability, trying to achieve our transit first goal of having more of our trips the more non-auto trips. but transit, walking, biking be more than 50% of the total. and how do we reduce our greenhouse emissions? how do we achieve a good state of repair? so for all of these different goals, we looked at different projects that were based on not only agency some metals, but also public some metals from the most recent round of projects. we tried to understand how these different projects may address the different goals that we have in each of these areas, objective areas, as well as the specific metric we are looking at. across the board you can see a lot of them are aimed at improvements in the southern parts of the city because this

and to take a look at the city's livable wage ordinance, the spirit of it. there is some question whether employees are independent contractors, i do not think there is any doubt that the idea behind the city's livable wage is that working class people should be able to survive. thank you. >> our next speaker is. >> i urge you to sever in their minds the idea of 11 and 12. please pass item 11, no matter what you do with 12. we have had six weeks of income forgone that cannot be gone back. as far as item 12, on the matter of you selling new medallions out right, not only must you appear to come to your decisions -- not only must you come to your decisions with clean hands, you must appear to. this does muddy the waters a bit since you would be raising money off of these medallions. i do like with a peak time medallions, i do like the idea that -- i am not not about the drivers having to pay a monthly fee but i like that it can be mitigated by showing they are taking radio calls. i urge you to pass this experiment although there remember in the future the numb

community arts space is that i just love, and it makes our neighborhoods a much more colorful and livable as well. >> what motivated your interest in politics? >> i guess i have always been passionate about civil rights and equality for everyone, and i have a 10-year-old daughter, so having a girl has made me much more sensitive to gender equality and other issues, but i guess i have always been someone that is vocal about my politics, but as a supervisor, and having to listen to many perspectives before making key decisions. as an activist in chinatown, i have always felt that working families and people who work in our neighborhoods need to have much more support. it is always about giving more voice to immigrants or the underserved and workers in the city. that is what drives my passion as a supervisor. >> tell me about the process of running for supervisor. what did you learn from the campaign process? was anything surprising? supervisor mar: i had to move from being a regular person that barely gets his kid to school on time and makes her a healthy lunch to having to go to a photo op

maxes out, but there's nothing on the corresponding give side and tiling the neighborhood to have livability. we are looking at a parking -- >>president olague: this is noto speak to the item, but to speak to continuance. >> i hope we have continuance going on to allow staff to work with the neighborhood and come to some sort of agreement, especially as relates to marshall school. president olague: thank you. >> i am here on the 135 el camino del mar continuance. i support the continuance. i did a time she with what happened in and where we are, which is not very far. but we are here today. thank you preheat president olague: -- the thank you,. . president olague: public comment is closed. vice-president miguel: i moved to continue the agenda, plus item number 14. president olague: for the motion to continue, item 14 to october 6th, [roll-call] thank you, commissioners. the items are continued as has been proposed. commissioners, you have won consent calendar item, considered to be routine and acted upon by single roll call vote. there will be no separate discussion of this item unless a num

. >> i support working families, livable communities, definite drawn support for the small business. even in my district, there are pockets of poverty and many people of work. so it is also about supporting those under employed people, small businesses in this difficult economy. >> there are a lot of vacant storefronts, so we are trying to find people to read these spaces. there is a bookstore over there. this way there are a lot of businesses that have been closing. >> i support the small businesses versus more chain stores that seem to be coming in to some of the vacant storefronts. i am trying to be sensitive to the local merchants because they make up the unique character and diversity of our neighborhoods. you go to lafayette. i was just there reading to a bunch of kids. i think i was reading to fifth graders. what grade are you in? >> as a member of the school board, i know strong schools in the richmond is key. also, from the birth to 5 commission -- each commission has an organization to oversee pre-kindergarten kids. i want to ensure that the state level that we advocate str

sustainability, accessibility, health, livability and economics. and what do i tell about it? well, for sustainability, cycling is emission-free, uses hardly any oil, only to produce the bike and to have your chain go well. it reduces the global footprint for the person. we all have our global foot print, what we use from this earth, and the footprint of the country and it alleviates global warming. what can be more sustaining except for walk something accessabilities? as mentioned before, we mentioned all the dutch people that are now on the bicycle in the car and who have a city that doesn't move anymore. it's congested for 24 hours. but there's more. the infrom structure use is more -- infrastructure use is more efficient. parking space is not so expensive when you park a car. you can park where you park a bike and you can park eight bicycles in the space of one car. when it comes to health, in-- it increases the life expectancy. you can live longer, three years longer when you cycle every day to work, to school, to shops when you use the bicycle more often and that longer

i am happy to be speaking for the vitality, livability, and diversity of the mission. i am proud to have lived in the mission for 15 years. i am a recent never on bartlett street. my house backs up to medjool. we're the closest neighbor. i love the mission because it is vibrant and perverse. i love that i live next to people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. i love that i can live without a car. i can buy it and take transit. i love the cultural opportunities. i love the businesses. i love the restaurants and bars. my partner and i moved from the permission into this corridor because we wanted more social life, and we eat out all the time and stay out life. what i do not like is what has been done to some of our neighbors on the street. it has driven away some of my neighbors in the building. there has been disrespectful and illegal activity, noise coming from the rooftop deck. even with the sound barrier that was added, i hear noise at night of music, of voices, of dishes, of a huge fan that goes 24/7 -- i am not sure why. i am one of the people that sleeps with earplug

this is an effort that is presented by the fda but the organization has done by livable city. we don't have a lot of resources. in the various places we visit -- this has provided much-needed support in terms of programming, outreach and marketing and other things we would have to go without or pay for. fillmore has been a great partner, and i don't know if you were able to make it out last weekend on september 11, but there was a lot of activity in all the neighborhoods, and most robustly in the film more and meghan mitchell worked very diligently to marshal fantastic music and great events, fun things for the whole family, helping with programming and marketing, letting the neighborhood know about changes to parking and traffic, and including sunday streets as part of the international artists week. in closing, this is an important institution and meghan worked very hard to support the merchants that bring life to this corridor. i really wanted to go on record by saying that sunday streets would not have been as successful without the staff. >> other members of the public? >

this is a great example of how communities can make our neighborhoods more livable. can we move this forward with a positive recommendation without objection? thank you, everyone. [applause] we have supervisor farrel here for item three. can you please call item three? >> ordinance amending the planning code and zoning maps. supervisor farrell: >> this legislation is going to modify existing controls regarding sine end at a property located on masonic boulevard. these proposed controls would allow additional businesses projecting freestanding signs that identify the shopping center and provide directional guides, and would change some of the sun controls. these modifications are in anticipation of opening at the site in 2013, and several other smaller tenants coming in. the target team i worked with and a property manager and developer have put a lot of work into reinvigorating the property, with signs that will direct people into the right parking lots and businesses. there has been nothing but community support that we have seen, particularly from the neighborhood

the balance of use of streets with the interest in livability. this is a great photograph of the boss worth underpass. there are people under there. minimize the negative impacts of these larger scale projects that have come in over the years. the plan package itself contains a policy framework which is a draft plan and implementation contained at the end of that draft plan and we will talk about each of those. there are three chapters -- the land use and urban design chapter recognizes the special character in glen park is tied to the historic building panel and the interaction with pedestrian and transit. insuring the compatibility of new development with the village character and protecting historic buildings. the policies suggests creating a neighborhood commercial transit district in terms of the transportation section, this seeks to restore a balance street environ by bringing in neighborhood focus to the streets. while these things have come in, the pedestrian varmint has not been upgraded correspondingly. the plan is emphasizing improving

only what i like to see some strong prevailing wage language, because i believe that as sustainable livableage is something we can all get behind, for not only the workers but the community, but i would like to see local hire language that would apply to the post- construction also, long-term instead of the short-term construction. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. carpenter's 22. carpenters have every intention of meeting or exceeding the local hire ordnance parapet we do that. we try to do that on private drunks, obviously on public jobs. what i do want to stress, and there is an ongoing problem in san francisco with temporary construction. temporary bleachers, tech work that is carpenter were when it is on the city proper -- prop. it should be prevailing wage. i would stress any type of temporary work, tempers structures, bleachers, stages, that should all be subject to prevailing wage. it goes on. some of you have first-hand knowledge. actions we have done before, and that is why we have a contractor here, rodin construction, because they are there because we protest things lik

this for more, but there will be a significant amount of improvements to these units, both for livability, air quality, and function on the third floor of the building. i have covered the full building. if you have any questions, i could answer. supervisor mar: colleagues, are there any questions? cell, seeing none, thank you for the presentation. -- so, seeing none. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i am the executive director of youth services. i want to talk about what the young people will be doing. several years ago, there was a task force established by then mayor newsom to look at the transition-aged youth. one of the key recommendations that came out of that was the need to increase housing. we talked about 100 people as part of that task force report, and all of them talked about housing as their first-priority needs. some of the work was done, and the city had planned to add 400 units of housing by 2015, ideally, so this project is a part of that plan. the importance of having 24 units to 16 units is that at this time, there are an estimated 5700 people at risk for homelessness e
